Question

What is the ordered pair of the endpoint in the standard form of a square root function y = 5vx - 4 - 1?
(1 point)

• (4, -1)

• (-4, -1)

• (-4,1)

O (4,1)

Answer 1

To find the ordered pair of the endpoint in the standard form of a square root function \( y = a\sqrt{x - h} + k \), we need to identify the values of \( h \) and \( k \).

The given function is:

\[
y = 5\sqrt{x - 4} - 1
\]

From this form, we can see that:
- \( h = 4 \)
- \( k = -1 \)

Thus, the endpoint of the square root function, which occurs at the point \( (h, k) \), is:

\[
(4, -1)
\]

So the correct answer is:

• (4, -1)
